Bodycam Footage of Police Shooting Michael Pinto After Car Chase in Providence, Rhode Island

* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Providence, Rhode Island — On Friday, September 15, 2023, 40-year-old Michael Pinto led officers on a chase with his teenage daughter in the vehicle. He was found by Sgt. Henry Yakey, and Patrolmen Bret Simas and Lucas Pontbriant, stuck in traffic near the Anchor Subaru dealership on Route 146 south, and the Burrillville officers attempted to box him in with their vehicles. Yakey steps out of his patrol car with his gun drawn and walks toward Pinto’s vehicle, shouting orders for Pinto to “{Expletive] stop!” It then appears that Pinto’s vehicle accelerates toward Yakey. As the vehicle is accelerating, one shot is fired. Pinto’s vehicle then hits Yakey’s cruiser and stops moving forward. Another shot is fired, and the driver’s side window on Pinto’s car shatters. After the shots are fired, screams are clearly heard from inside the vehicle. Pinto’s vehicle then accelerates again and speeds away down the road, with Yakey and other officers on scene calling “shots fired” into their radios. Yakey then gets back into his cruiser, but says into his radio that they are not in pursuit of Pinto. Providence police later picked up the chase on Route 10 and onto Dean Street. Eventually two sergeants spotted Pinto near Woman and Infants Hospital, where he allegedly drove onto the sidewalk and hit a nurse. Pinto at this point placed his vehicle into reverse with Sgt. Rampone and the pedestrian nurse still on the sidewalk behind him. It is at this time both Sgt. Rampone and Sgt. Lopes discharged their duty weapons. Pinto was transported to Rhode Island Hospital, where he died. His teenage daughter who was in the car at the time was shot in the leg. Officers said they didn’t know anyone else was in the car until after the pursuit ended. Yakey and the nurse who was hit at the scene were also taken to the hospital. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - ’DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse’ - ’MortimerEsq’ - ’Monty’ - Exus Altimus - Mateusz Adam Katana - ’Dawesenm’ - Ryan Hurley - William Bowman - Paul Rohrbaugh - Sandra McGreevy - Charlie Collier - Koby Bland - Christopher Payne - Zach Williams - Michael R Sheffield - Rich Biggs - ’JTrip’ - Lee Roberts - Brant Eaton - ’General X’ - ’jadeennff’ - James Pringle - ’’ - Meighan Garrick - ’Sopaul’ - Lisa Overly - Connor Davies - ’Necko’ - Gerardo Flores - Anthony Eufemio - ’Donkbot’ - Gage Kissinger - Eian Smith - ’HelloDarknessMyOldFriend’ - ’coco Coco’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us at BuyMeACoffee: Support us on Patreon: Follow us on Twitter: 🛍️ Check out our Amazon store: 🛍️ Disclosure: Please note that we will receive a small commission from purchases made through our Amazon store.
